Taste test for Niue Uli Uli,
-It has a good sweet flavor and great taste, it is a Table Type Taro and is much dryer in consistancy than the Poi types, --but it is a very good eating variety - it is low in Calcium Crystals, and can be eaten with minamal steaming, [as soon as the fork can go through it] The leaf has good flavor and is moderate in the amount of Calcium crystals- It requires a min boil time of 25 to 30 min,
Also known as Niue.
